Sport picture of the day: a jump too far

Two days ago, in Tignes, French rally driver and world champion freeride skier, Guerlain Chicherit made an attempt on the world record for the longest car jump. As you can see from
this video, it didn't end well. Fortunately, Chicherit walked away from the attempt
relatively unscathed. Getty have now released a sequence of the event – you can see the snow kicked up from the crash in the last frame
